Well, I got bored again, so while cruising around the interwebs I found The Loser Letters.


Eberstadt’s wit is so biting it might even make you feel sorry for the New Atheists. For one little moment anyway. But if you ask me, the New Atheists were asking for it. Never have such a humorless and self righteous crowd monopolized the cultural conversation. It’s high time someone started laughing at them.


I don't care how "biting" it is; I'm more concerned with how fact-free and strawman filled it will be.

Irony is already evident; I assume from when they talk about "ignorant secularists" that there will be strawmen present?

The link to the actual site and the Amazon link to the book itself are in the link to the article above.

I bet this is going to be good...for FSTDT submissions!

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

“Christians are always at a moral disadvantage because we’re told to turn the other cheek,”


Yes, Christians are always turning the other cheek. Spot on.
